Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a substance resists or does not allow any flow of electric current through it then it is known as an insulator.

For example, rubber, glass, paper etc are all insulators.

A conductor is a substance that allows easy passage of electric current through it.

A radiator is defined as the substance which emits radiations to transfer heat energy for heating and warming purpose.

A solar collector collects radiations that are passed from the Sun.

Thus, we can conclude that an insulator is a material that reduces the flow of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation.

Arocket with an initial velocity of 20 m/s another engine that gives it an acceleration of 4 m/s ^ 2 over 10 secondsHow far did

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

50m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 20m/s

Acceleration = 4m/s²

Time = 10s

Unknown:

Distance traveled by the rocket = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem use the expression below;

v² = u² + 2as

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

final velocity = 0

Insert the parameters and solve;

0² = 20² + 2 x 4 x s

-400 = 8s

s = 50m

Disregard the negative sign because distance cannot be negative.

12. A frain moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?

ziro4ka [17]

initial velocity=u=0m/s
Final velocity=v=25m/s
Time=t=30s

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25-0}{30}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{25}{30}$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto Acceleration=0.8m/s^2$

Answer:

Molecules speed up

Explanation:

This is caused because of the temperature increasing. The temperature increase is telling us that the thermal energy of the reaction is increasing. When the energy is increased molecules increase their speed, because they have more energy in them

The magnetic field produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is

alexdok [17]

Answer:

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a long, straight current-carrying wire is given by:

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current intensity in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

From the formula, we notice that:

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to I, the current

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, r

Therefore, correct option is

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
